Seek advice on forums but always listen to your own ears!


I’m starting this thread because in our hobby there are no absolutes.  You as an audiophile will bring a different experience. You will have different equipment, speakers,room,  experience level and level of equipment. Be careful seek the advice but you never know who is giving it to you. Trust your ears not random measurements from random people. Some folks are not who they say they are.

@everyone there was also another reason for this post. Without saying actual names we had poster here that for years came on to shill and to destroy threads of people he didn’t agree with. He was consistently abrasive and disrespectful. He isn’t on here now but we have to be careful who we take advice from. What equipment do they actually have. What experience do they actually have. Are they who they say they are. Do they have experiences with the stuff they say they do. Some have accused me of being a shill because I work for a company. But the truth is the real danger of these forums is people flat out being dishonest to validate themselves in the hobby. A lot of us are OCD in audio. But there are folks that want to come on our platforms to destroy healthy debate. We must be careful. I travel to audio shows so I have actually met a few of you in person. I want to meet more of you if I’m in a show in your area. Just be careful with who you get advice from they may not be who you think they are.
